I see CJJ has padded the basketball schedule for this year.

We've got powerhouses like Wofford and North Florida on the home slate. Not to mention another RIVETNG home weekend vs North Carolina Central and Texas Southern.

Better win the cupcakes if you're going to schedule them to save your arse.

Thank god we have a Tournament in there but damn the rest of the non-conference is awful.

Dont sleep on Wofford and NC Central

Those teams were pretty good a couple years ago, see they sucked last year but you never know

This is very frustrating, mainly because it is a pattern. This year's team will not be good anyway, but having a terrible non-conference SOS is great way to remove yourself from any chance of making the postseason.

Cant believe CJJ kept his job last year. I would argue he is more incompetent than Les. I guess if you are an Alleva hire you get a little more rope?

If Johnny could win 19-21 games this season and flip the WKU commits, I'd shockingly say keep him for one more season and see what happens. If he can't take Mitchell Robinson from Stansburry then can him anyway.

Even with his most hyped team (on paper), Jones put together a dog shite schedule last season. I said that 3 months before last season that the schedule was horrible and got blasted for it.

Poor OOC scheduling is unexcusable. It...

(A) leaves you no margin of error going into conf. play (especially if you lose a few OOC games like last season)

(B) builds no excitement for your program in first two months of the season. Casual basketball fans aren't showing up to watch LSU battle the North Florida's and SWAC/MEAC schools of the world.

LSU's best season in the last 20 years was 05-06. That team was 8-5 going into SEC play. However, they were battle tested from games against West Virginia, Northern Iowa, Cincinnati, Ohio State, UConn.

Dale didn't hide from big OOC matchups. Jones has to be forced into them.

I've long grown tired of the OOC schedules we throw out there. Howling at the moon.

Just one of many things CJJ has underwhelmed me with.

JJ sucks. Get him the frick out. Last year should have been enough to fire him.

won't matter because the committee scrutizes strength of schedule. Merely piling up meaningless wins doesn't get you in the tournament, as it should be.

So cupcakes wins don't mean much at all. But a loss to a cupcake hurts.
